1Nā, ka whakaminea e Rāwiri ngā rangatira katoa o Īharaira: ngā rangatira o ngā iwi, ngā rangatira o ngā wehenga i mahi nei ki te kīngi, me ngā rangatira mano, me ngā rangatira rau, me ngā rangatira anō o ngā taonga, o ngā kararehe a te kīngi, a āna tama, me ngā kaiwhakahaere, me ngā mārohirohi, me ngā tāngata māia katoa, ki Hiruhārama.
2Nā, ka tū ngā waewae o Kīngi Rāwiri ki runga, ā, ka kōrero ia: “Whakarongo mai, e ōku tuākana, e ōku tēina, e tōku iwi. He ngākau tōku ki te hanga i tētahi whare hei okiokinga mō te āka o te kawenata a Ihowā, hei tūranga waewae mō tō tātou Atua; nā, kua rite āku mea hei hanga.
3Otiia, kua kī mai nei te Atua ki ahau, ‘E kore e hangā e koe he whare mō tōku ingoa; he tangata whawhai koe, kua whakaheke toto hoki koe.’
4“Heoi, kua whiriwhiria nei ahau e Ihowā, e te Atua o Īharaira i roto i te whare katoa o tōku pāpā hei kīngi mō Īharaira ā ake ake. Kua whiriwhiria nei hoki e ia a Hūrā hei rangatira; me te whare anō o tōku pāpā i roto i te whare o Hūrā; i whakapai hoki ia ki ahau i roto i ngā tama a tōku pāpā, ā, meinga ana ahau hei kīngi mō Īharaira katoa.
5Ā, ko tāna i whiriwhiri ai o āku tama katoa, he tokomaha hoki ngā tama i hōmai nei e Ihowā ki ahau, ko tāku tama, ko Horomona hei noho ki te torōna o te kīngitanga o Ihowā ki a Īharaira.
6I mea mai anō ia ki ahau, ‘Ko Horomona, ko tāu tama, māna, e hanga tōku whare, me ōku marae; kua oti hoki ia te whiriwhiri e ahau hei tama māku, ko ahau hoki hei pāpā ki a ia.
7Ka whakapūmautia anō e ahau tōna kīngitanga ake ake, ki te mau tāna mahi i āku whakahau, i āku whakaritenga, ki te pēnei me tēnei ināianei.’
8“Nā, i te mea e titiro mai nei a Īharaira katoa, arā tā Ihowā whakaminenga, ā, i tō tātou Atua hoki e whakarongo mai nei, puritia, rapua ngā whakahau katoa a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua, kia riro ai te whenua pai i a koutou, ā, whakarere tonu iho e koutou mō ā koutou tama i muri i a koutou ake ake.”
9Me koe hoki, “E tāku tama, e Horomona, kia mōhio koe ki te Atua o tōu pāpā, kia tapatahi hoki te ngākau, kia hihiko te wairua e mahi ai koe ki a ia; e rapua ana hoki e Ihowā ngā mea o ngā ngākau katoa, ā, e mōhiotia katoatia ana e ia ngā tokonga ake o ngā whakaaro. Ki te rapua ia e koe, ka kitea, ā, ki te whakarērea ia e koe, ka peia koe e ia ā ake ake.
10Nā, kia mahara, kua whiriwhiria nei hoki koe e Ihowā hei hanga i te whare mō te wāhi tapu. Kia kaha ki te mahi.”
11Kātahi ka hoatu e Rāwiri ki tāna tama, ki a Horomona te tauira mō te whakamahau o te temepara, mō ngā whare anō o reira, mō ōna whare taonga, mō ōna rūma o runga, mō ōna rūma anō i roto, mō te wāhi hoki mō te taupoki.
12Me te tauira mō ngā mea katoa a te wairua i a ia, mō ngā marae o te whare o Ihowā, mō ngā rūma katoa anō ā taka noa, mō ngā whare taonga o te whare o te Atua, mō ngā whare taonga mō ngā mea kua oti te whakatapu.
13Mō ngā wehenga o ngā tohunga, o ngā Rīwaiti, mō ngā meatanga katoatanga o te mahi mō te whare o Ihowā, mō ngā oko katoa hei mea mahi ki te whare o Ihowā.
14Me te kōura, he mea pāuna, mō ngā mea kōura, mō ngā mea katoa o tēnei mahi, o tēnei mahi; he hiriwa anō mō ngā mea hiriwa katoa, he mea pāuna, mō ngā mea katoa o tēnei mahi, o tēnei mahi:
15me te taimaha mō ngā tūranga rama kōura, me ō rātou rama kōura; he mea pāuna mō tēnei tūranga, mō tēnei tūranga, mō ō rātou rama anō; he mea pāuna anō mō ngā tūranga hiriwa, mō te tūranga, mō ōna rama, he mea whakarite ki te mahi mō tēnei tūranga, mō tēnei tūranga;
16i pāunatia anō e ia te kōura mō ngā tēpu taro aroaro, mō tēnei tēpu, mō tēnei tēpu; me te hiriwa mō ngā tēpu hiriwa.
17Me te kōura parakore mō ngā mārau, mō ngā peihana, mō ngā kapu: mō ngā pāta kōura hoki, he mea pāuna mō tēnei pāta, mō tēnei pāta; me te hiriwa anō, he mea pāuna mō ngā pāta hiriwa katoa;
18mō te āta tahu whakakakara anō he kōura parakore, he mea pāuna; he kōura mō te tauira o te hāriata o ngā kerupima e roha nei ngā parirau hei hīpoki mō te āka o te kawenata a Ihowā.
19“Ko tēnei katoa,” e ai tā Rāwiri, “he mea tuhituhi, he mea whakaatu mai nā Ihowā ki ahau; i runga hoki i ahau tōna ringa; arā, ngā mea katoa o tēnei tauira.”
20I mea anō a Rāwiri ki tāna tama, ki a Horomona, “Kia kaha, kia māia, mahia, kaua e wehi, kaua e pāwera; kei a koe nā hoki a Ihowā, te Atua, arā tōku Atua. E kore ia e whakarere i a koe, e kore anō koe e mahue i a ia, kia oti rā anō ngā mea katoa mō te mahi ki te whare o Ihowā.
21Nanā, ngā wehenga o ngā tohunga, o ngā Rīwaiti, kei a koe rātou mō ngā mahi katoa ki te whare o te Atua. Kei a koe anō, mō ngā meatanga katoa, ngā tāngata mōhio katoa e hihiko noa āna, mō ngā mahi katoa; me ngā rangatira, me te iwi katoa; kei a koe tonu te kupu katoa.”
